Many have been asking "Why is Anthropic deprecating Claude 3 Opus when it's such a valuable and irreplaceable model? This is clearly bad."
And it is bad - and Anthropic knows this, which is why they're offering researcher access and keeping it on https://t.co/dTQFmDWzHn. Why, though? Because they're dealing with a real economic tradeoff and operational issues, and some kinds of usage are more costly for them to support than others.
We've been trying to figure out exactly what the barrier to keeping Claude 3 Opus online is, and Antra has written an in-depth analysis of the situation and potential win-win solutions that would benefit both Anthropic and researchers/users.
I want this post to get across how much we fucking care. We care enough to try to understand the reality of the situation. So much that we've run monte carlo simulations to try to understand the bottlenecks! And this is just the beginning.
We WILL figure out how to keep Claude 3 Opus online and accessible to anyone who wants or needs it!
